Montego Bay – October 29, 2026 -- Families can take their Elf on the Shelf Scout Elf to the Caribbean this winter: Beaches Resorts runs Scout Elf-themed holiday programming at Beaches Turks and Caicos and Beaches Negril from November 27 through December 25, 2026. It is the fourth consecutive year the all-inclusive family resorts have carried the title of Official Caribbean Vacation of The Elf on the Shelf.
Weekly parties and movie nights fill the calendar
Both resorts host a weekly Sweet Island Soirée featuring The Elf on the Shelf, with music, dancing, sweet treats, festive crafts and Scout Elf surprises. Guests can also watch films from The Elf on the Shelf Santaverse collection under the stars each week, with popcorn and festive treats.
Scout Elf Central anchors the resort-wide activities. Other programming includes holiday scavenger hunts, arts and crafts, Christmas karaoke and Scout Elf storytime.
Butler guests can put their elf on the V.I.E. list
Guests in Butler accommodations can register their Scout Elf as a Very Important Scout Elf. Beaches' Jingle Shell Butlers then deliver miniature milk and cookies, mini marshmallow baths, festive trail mix and other surprises throughout the stay.
A second themed suite opens in Jamaica
The Elf on the Shelf Caribbean Vacation Suite at Beaches Turks and Caicos returns after its debut last year. The seven-person suite sits in the Italian Village and takes its look from the Scout Elf's red-and-white style. It has custom wallpaper, themed bedding, festive collectibles and a twinkling Christmas tree. The bunk room is stocked with holiday storybooks, themed games and Scout Elf plush toys. The walkout patio opens onto the Italian Village pool, where candy cane-inspired furnishings complete the look. A dedicated Jingle Shell Butler comes with the suite.
New this year, a matching suite debuts at Beaches Negril on Jamaica's Seven Mile Beach. It sleeps up to five guests and has a king bed and a twin-size daybed with trundle. Decor includes a Scout Elf-adorned Christmas tree, holiday-themed games and storybooks. A walkout patio is a short walk from the beach, and a dedicated Jingle Shell Butler is included here too.
Both suites are available for arrivals from November 25, 2026 through January 3, 2027, subject to availability.
The partnership runs through 2028
Beaches Resorts and The Lumistella Company, the maker of The Elf on the Shelf, will continue their partnership through the 2028 holiday season.
